In general, that can't be done. If I write a cheque
today, it may not be cashed until 3 months from now.
I want that cheque in GNC when I write it, not
necessarily when it's cashed. The same is true with
credit card receipts. There can be a few days
difference between you use your card and the charge
appears on your statement.
